Nature finance fails because prevention is invisible. Christopher White of Conservation International says conservation capital arrives after fires, and blended finance is his fix for nature investing. This is TBLI Radical Truth with Robert Rubinstein, recorded from Hong Kong while Los Angeles was burning. White's argument is about human nature before it is about capital. We will pay for a higher sea wall after the flood, a better fire plan after the fire, a new road after the old one washes out. We will not pay for the thing that quietly stops any of it happening, because nobody ever gets to see the disaster that did not occur. That is the whole problem with financing nature, and he thinks conservation organisations have to own it rather than blame investors for it. Christopher White works on strategy and innovative finance at Conservation International, which was founded in 1987, employs around 1,600 people and works mostly outside the United States. He is based in Seattle.
